Gemini says this:

Where did you get that from?
Machine hallucinations are avoidable.
(And I'm not picking on the machine at all here. I use it all the time. At first, I used to treat it like an idiot intern that shouldn't have been hired at all: Creative and full of spirit, but untrustworthy and all ideas need to be filtered. But lately, it's more like an decent apprentice who has a hangover and isn't thinking straight today. The machine has been getting better as time presses on, but it still goes rather aloof from time to time.)
They hallucinate shit all the time. It might even be said that all LLM output is a hallucination (but some of these hallucinations are useful).
What do you mean all LLM output is hallucination? Would you say the same about AlphaGo? That system was also trained to predict human data initially yet it's competent to the point of beating most humans in Go.
Anyway, we were here:

It isn't my purpose try to convince you that your apparent presumption that the output of a human and a machine are somehow equivalent and should be treated equally is wrong.
So I won't.

You should judge arguments by their merits, not by who is saying them.
I'm out.
Commute through the Grand Central station everyday is certainly not a few hours.
And people don't tend to get a CT scan very frequently so the timeline here is massive.
CT Scan: 10-1000 mrem
Grand Central Station: 525 mrem / yr
- Head CT: 2.0 mSv (200 mrem)
- Chest CT: 8.0 mSv (800 mrem)
- Abdomen CT: 10 mSv (1,000 mrem)
- Pelvis CT: 10 mSv (1,000 mrem)
So for a head CT, one would need to spend more than 13 hours per workday in the station. OP was off at least an order of magnitude.

In clinical practice, those doses are about 2-3x what I see on the machine dose reports every day at my place of work.
In thin patients who can hold still, I've done full-cycle cardiac CT and achieved a < 1 mSv dose. We are always trying to get the dose down while still being diagnostic.

Also there's an apple store there. RIP all the geniuses there i suppose
